Finally got around to watching season 3. This whole season suffers from really messy writing between the storyboards. I think I've posted this before but I'm pretty sure they developed this show from something like the storyboards they show during the credits, and build everything around a powerful and interesting visual snapshot of a scene. But then the scenes that connect them are hamfisted and poorly thought out. Anytime I made the mistake of thinking about a scene I felt like I either had to totally suspend disbelief or "rewrite" it in my headcanon to continue to enjoy it. It reminds me of this clip that came out after Prometheus.
Good examples would be, "Why did all the Mandalorians run away when Paz Vizsla could obviously eat every Stormtrooper??" "Why didn't Bo Katan cut through the blast doors facing Moff Gideon as soon as they dropped?" "Why did the mandos scout the terrain on foot and on a shit-boat when they had shuttles that could just fly around?" "Why did the mandos charge into the giant space turtle only to get their shit-boat destroyed?" "Why did it look like Moff Gideon had built a base over several years when it seemed like there was a day between when the mandos departed for Mandalore?"
Anyway, if they did another pass during the screenplay editing and just asked, "Does this scene make no sense?" and rewrote it, it'd be a much better show. I'm glad they kept the ending unambitious because it's a lot easier to create a clean ending than an interesting one. I think they've set up Mandalore nicely as a potential powerhouse planet and Bo Katan et all as side characters that can hop into future shows, which is great. I'll watch season 4 of Mando and Grogu fuck around the galaxy, but I hope they clean things up a bit.
Also, I hope they totally split from the canon of sequel trilogy. It's circling like a pack of three shit-hawks over the entire franchise, condemning it to idiocy and mediocrity.
